Joe Hi Joe, A few years ago I had serious liver problems from a Hep B infection, although this eventually cleared up, I was concerned about what my Dr termed long lasting effects...Dr has a herbal tonic specifically for liver function, it may or may not help your friend, these are traditional herbs , not to be confused with the recipe for the cleanse (removing gallstones) 6 parts tanners oak bark 3 " gravel root 3 parts jacobs staff 2 parts licorice root 2 " wild yam root 2 " milk thistle herb 3 " walnut bark 3 " marshmallow root 1 " lobellia plant 1 " skull cap mix all the herbs. Add 1/2 cup of the mixt; to 2 qts water. Bring to boil. Put lid on.Let sit for 6 hours. Strain and add sweetening (syrup or honey). You can make it xtra good by adding coconut cream. Drink 3 cups a day. Put the strained herbs in the freezer and use them one more time. It may be that a liver cleanse is more of a priority: To quote her. " Cleaning the liver bile ducts is the most powerful procedure that you can doto improve your body's health. But it should not be done before the parasite program, and for best results should follow the kidney cleanse. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I say this is because just under the right rib cage there is a puffiness that looks like a banana lying under the skin. What could be causing it?

I had my gallbladder removed six years ago. I occasionally had pain under my right breast, but the worst of it, for me, was between my shoulder blades. I blamed that pain on my GERDS so never complained about it to the doctor. I started to find there were more and more foods that I couldn't eat without pain/feeling sick. Started with fried foods, but eventually even green salads and bananas set me off too. The surgeon said mine was the second worst gallbladder she had ever seen. It was stretched so thin, you could literally see the 100+ stones right through it. They took it out laproscopically. I also had five other surgeries done at the same time, and with my fibro, healed slower anyway. But the good news was that after the surgery, I could eat anything I wanted again. I would do that surgery again, I didn't think it was too bad. Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my pain was right upper area of my abdomen, slight under ribs. Can't eat fried or greasy food, onions and many spicy things. In 1991 I had pancreatitis which was the most horrible pain I have ever had. The pain was dead center of my stomach and deep. It hurt to even keep my ribs down. Best position was leaning on something with my arms & ribs lifted. I was in the hospital 2 nights. Turns out my pancreas problem was connected to my gall bladdder one. Had the gall bladder out in 1993.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I also had pain under my breast and had nausea off and on. One morning my pulse rate went to 150 and wouldn't come down. I got into my Internist a few hours later and he thought it could be my gall bladder or pancreatitis. I had all kinds of tests and it ended up being my cholesterol, believe it or not. My Internist told me what I have is inherited and my liver just began to pump out cholesterol. My cholesterol was 279 and I was put on Crestor. 3 weeks later when I fractured my ankle and had to have a preop for surgery, my cholesterol was down to 155, amazing! I just had a check up and my cholesterol was 157 so I asked if I would have to take the Crestor the rest of my life and the doctor said yes.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 I started having abdominal pains and had a CT scan. It showed fatty liver. Remember multi-system, multi-system disease. I also have white spots of signal abnormality on my brain and my hypothalamus doesn't know what the hell it is doing anymore. Too much cortisol and too little. But...I feel okay today.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Just a note about milk thistle: I belong to a forum on tick disease in dogs, and several members who had very sick dogs with high liver values from Ehrlichiosis or other diseases have reported that their dogs' liver values came down quickly when they took this liver support supplement: http://www.country-life.com/moreinfo.cfm?Category=19 & Product_ID=312 A few people said that milk thistle was not helping very much, but when they took this supplement instead, they saw fast results. It contains milk thistle with a lot of other supporting nutrients and I think they combine to have a much stronger effect. Just FYI. The supplement is for humans, by the way.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I could always connect my liver pain to inordinate amounts of exposure, before I realized it was my house initially (10 years ago) I had it all the time, and in north Carolina had it some. When I lived under the carport, and in the boat, and next door on a porch, and even in the trailer don't remember much of a problem with it. Don't have it here in the new house either. Dull pain always just under the right rib cage. Usually accompanied by more than usual fatigue, sometimes with bloating type of symptoms, shortness of breath, tight throat, feeling of just wanting to get out of my body it sucks so bad. I can sympathize. > > >> I know that many mold victims have liver > > >> problems. Has anyone ever had > > >> a liver biopsy?

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Some other things that may help: Taurine, Carnosine, whey protein.. Coenzyme Q10, fish oil, vitamin C & E and selenium and zinc, and of course NAC, alpha lipoic acid and acetyl-l-carnitine. Milk thistle has seemed to help the liver pain the most for me too. There is a lot of variation in quality between brands. Find one that works and stick with it. Cholestyramine also helps my liver pain.. but maybe that goes without saying.. cholestyramine and then an half hour to an hour or so without food and then a meal with some fat in it. If I get bad mold exposure sometimes I need to do that before I can sleep. The mold in there irritates something and that keeps me up. Cholestyramine sucks it up and suddenly I get tired and sleep well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 This is a very good question, as most physicians forget that Rai stage II is hepatosplenomegaly. It is a safe assumption that if the spleen is involved, there will be some liver involvement. With that being said, LFT abnormalities from CLL infiltrating the liver are very unusual. If there are LFT abnormalites, then another etiology need to be sought out. CLL involving lymph nodes near the liver blocking the flow of bile and resulting in LFT abnormalites is not included here, as that would just be external compression.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Dear " M " ...the elevated transaminases (SGOT, SGPT aka as ALT and AST) could reflect either hepatic (liver) inflammation or could be secondary to an obstructive process, such as might occur from an enlarged lymph node impinging on the bile duct which drains bile from the liver to the intestine. Multiple drugs can cause either inflammation or cholestasis ( a process like obstruction). Autoimmune liver disease is also possible. The response to prednisone is non-specific and could be expected to occur in any of these processes, including any cause of hepatic inflammation (drug related, viral, autoimmune) or any chloestatic (blockage of bile flow) process whether intrinsic to the liver (again, viral, drug related or autoimmune) or extrinsic (outside of) to the liver such as a process impinging on the bile duct (eg, an enlarged lymph node in the Porta Hepatis). Prednisone often " corrects " abnormal liver function tests, no matter what the underlying cause. It would be helpful to know what your total and direct bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase were at the time of the elevated transaminases, what drugs you are on and what the last set of liver function tests revealed. In any case, a competent gastroenterologist or hepatologist should be able to ascertain what is going on. Depending upon everything, a liver biopsy may or may not be indicated. Sometimes the biopsies reveal only non-specific inflammation or cholestasis and other data is needed to put the entire picture together. If your transaminases corrected quickly on a short course of prednisone and remain normal, the problem is less likely one that is intrinsic to the liver, such as a viral or drug related hepatitis, unless the offending drug has been discontinued. If this is the case, a biopsy is less likely to be helpful. Liver biopsies are relatively painless and low risk, so don't fret about it. Good luck, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 My oncologists always measure the size of the liver along with the spleen, to track how large it gets. I had a CLL friend who died of liver failure directly attributable to CLL. Rick Furman, MD wrote: /message/16235 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
